...Warning...

Today had best beware

Today better start worrying

because I won't stop

Today won't survive

Me

I'll grab Today by the heels

shake it inside out

with long strong arms

rattle the clanking clock teeth of time

I'll stop and start the heart of

Today

I'll bang on its withered chest

slap that tick tock face left right

Show this day I mean business

and No Mistake

Today don't stand a chance against

Me

I'll rip the flesh raw from its tired bones

whole mouthfuls chomp chomp

then spit it out and ask for

MORE

Today better think twice

I'm on the move and I'm

Hungry

and I take no prisoners:

. . . . . No boring yesterdays

. . . . . Not Me

I'll take down Today

with One Stroke behind those

lily-white knobby knees

Today will beg for my mercy

Flat on its back

feeble jugular fluttering against the

cold sharp steel of my Blade called Definance

While I cackle madly in the delight of rage

Today you fickle bastard

I'll smite your sarcastic

. . . . . deceitful

. . . . . . . . . hypocritical

self-righteous smirk with the

vengeful sword of my terrible

Wrath

I can see it all now: spread before me this

flaming tableau of Fate

through terror to triumph

I've got Today on the run

vanquished and in Retreat

Oh yeah

I win this fight:

TODAY!
